i Useful information Role of the Committee The Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee is an all‐party Joint House Committee, which examines all Bills and subordinate legislation (regulations) introduced or tabled in the Parliament. The Committee does not make any comments on the policy merits of the legislation. The Committee’s terms of reference contain principles of scrutiny that enable it to operate in the best traditions of non‐partisan legislative scrutiny. These traditions have been developed since the first Australian scrutiny of Bills committee of the Australian Senate commenced scrutiny of Bills in 1982. They are precedents and traditions followed by all Australian scrutiny committees. Non‐policy scrutiny within its terms of reference allows the Committee to alert the Parliament to the use of certain legislative practices and allows the Parliament to consider whether these practices are necessary, appropriate or desirable in all the circumstances. The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 provides that the Committee must consider any Bill introduced into Parliament and report to the Parliament whether the Bill is incompatible with human rights. Interpretive use of Parliamentary Committee reports Section 35 (b)(iv) of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 provides – In the interpretation of a provision of an Act or subordinate instrument consideration may be given to any matter or document that is relevant including, but not limited to, reports of Parliamentary Committees. When may human rights be limited Section 7 of the Charter provides – Human rights – what they are and when they may be limited – (2) A human right may be subject under law only to such reasonable limits as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom, and taking into account all relevant factors including— (a) the nature of the right; and (b) the importance of the purpose of the limitation; and (c) the nature and extent of the limitation; and (d) the relationship between the limitation and its purpose; and (e) any less restrictive means reasonably available to achieve the purpose that the limitation seeks to achieve Glossary and Symbols ‘Assembly’ refers to the Legislative Assembly of the Victorian Parliament ‘Charter’ refers to the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 ‘Council’ refers to the Legislative Council of the Victorian Parliament ‘DPP’ refers to the Director of Public Prosecutions for the State of Victoria ‘human rights’ refers to the rights set out in Part 2 of the Charter ‘IBAC’ refers to the Independent Broad‐based Anti‐corruption Commission ‘penalty units’ refers to the penalty unit fixed from time to time in accordance with the Monetary Units Act 2004 and published in the government gazette (as at 1 July 2014 one penalty unit equals $147.61 ) ‘Statement of Compatibility’ refers to a statement made by a member introducing a Bill in either the Council or the Assembly as to whether the provisions in a Bill are compatible with Charter rights ‘VCAT’ refers to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal [ ] denotes clause numbers in a Bill ii Alert Digest No. 7 of 2015 Adoption Amendment Bill 2015 Introduced Second Reading Speech House Member introducing Bill Portfolio responsibility 10 June 2015 10 June 2015 Legislative Assembly Hon.

repealing the associated criminal offence, whereby a natural parent who knowingly contacts or attempts to contact the adopted person in contravention of a 'no contact' contact statement commits an offence. Charter report The Adoption Amendment Bill 2015 is compatible with the rights set out in the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. The Committee makes no further comment 1 Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee Associations Incorporation Reform Amendment (Electronic Transactions) Bill 2015 Introduced Second Reading Speech House Member introducing Bill Portfolio responsibility 10 June 2015 10 June 2015 Legislative Assembly Hon.

reduce the reporting requirements of smaller associations by simplifying annual reporting requirements for small incorporated associations (tier one associations) by removing the requirement that they lodge with the Registrar of Incorporated Associations a copy of their annual financial statements each year, with a requirement to submit an annual statement form. Charter report The Associations Incorporation Reform Amendment (Electronic Transactions) Bill 2015 is compatible with the rights set out in the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. The Committee makes no further comment 2 Alert Digest No. 7 of 2015 Energy Legislation Amendment (Publication of Retail Offers) Bill 2015 Introduced Second Reading Speech House Member introducing Bill Portfolio responsibility 10 June 2015 10 June 2015 Legislative Assembly Hon.

Electricity Industry Act 2000 to require retailers who are relevant licensees to input general renewable energy feed‐in terms and conditions into an Internet site nominated by the Minister. 
Gas Industry Act 2001 to change the publication requirements in respect of gas retailer licensee standing offers and relevant published offers so that the requirements align with the requirements for electricity retailer licensee standing offers and relevant published offers under the Electricity Industry Act 2000.

The Committee makes no further comment 3 Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee Planning and Environment Contributions) Bill 2015 Introduced Second Reading Speech House Member introducing Bill Portfolio responsibility Amendment (Infrastructure 10 June 2015 10 June 2015 Legislative Assembly Hon. Richard Wynne MLA Minister for Planning Purpose The Bill amends the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to: 

The Committee makes no further comment 4 Alert Digest No. 7 of 2015 Road Safety Amendment (Private Car Parks) Bill 2015 Introduced Second Reading Speech House Member introducing Bill Portfolio responsibility 10 June 2015 10 June 2015 Legislative Assembly Hon. Jane Garrett MLA Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Purpose The Bill amends the Road Safety Act 1986 (the Act) to remove any entitlement to a preliminary discovery order against the Corporation (VicRoads) to obtain the details of vehicle owners, for the purposes of recovering private car park fees. Extract from the second reading speech:
… This amendment will inhibit the practice of car park operators abusing the process of preliminary discovery to support a dubious business model of posting mass demands to customers for liquidated damages that have been found to be unenforceable. Preliminary discovery for the purposes of recovering private car park fees under a written contract signed by both parties would be exempt from this restriction. The purpose of this exemption is to enable private car park operators to commence legal proceedings in relation to breaches of long term, commercial, parking agreements. Such proceedings may involve legitimate claims for significant sums of money. Charter report The Road Safety Amendment (Private Car Parks) Bill 2015 is compatible with the rights set out in the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. The Committee makes no further comment 5 Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee 6 Ministerial Correspondence Delivering Victorian Infrastructure (Port of Melbourne Lease Transaction) Bill 2015 The Bill was introduced into the Legislative Assembly on 26 May 2015 by the Hon. Tim Pallas MLA. The Committee considered the Bill on 9 June 2015 and made the following comments in Alert Digest No. 6 of 2015 tabled in the Parliament on 9 June 2015. Committee comments Charter report Obligations of public authorities – Port of Melbourne operator Summary: The Committee will write to the Minister seeking clarification regarding the Port of Melbourne operator that is provided for under clause 80 and their obligations under the Victorian Charter of Human Rights when exercising powers under clauses 119, 124, 125, 127 and 131. The Committee notes that clause 80, inserting a new section 4A into the Port Management Act 1995, provides that the Minister for Ports may declare that a specified person is the ‘port of Melbourne operator’. The Committee also notes that: • clauses 119, 124, 125 and 127, amending existing Part 5B of that Act, empower the port of Melbourne operator to clean up, remove, move and dispose of certain property; • clause 131, inserting a new Part 5C into that Act, empowers the port of Melbourne operator (and employees or agents authorised by the chief executive officer of the operator) to make various directions, to enter certain premises and to gather certain information. The Statement of Compatibility remarks that clause 131 engages, but does not limit (or reasonably limits) various Charter rights. The Committee observes that, under Charter s.38, entities that are established by a statutory provision to exercise functions of a public nature, or who exercise such functions on behalf of the State, must give proper consideration to human rights and to make decisions compatibly with human rights.i However, unlike the existing Port of Melbourne Corporation,ii the port of Melbourne operator provided for under clause 80 may be neither established by a statutory provision nor act on behalf of the State. The Committee will write to the Minister seeking clarification regarding the Port of Melbourne operator that is provided for under clause 80 and their obligations under the Victorian Charter of Human Rights when exercising powers under clauses 119, 124, 125, 127 and 131. i

See Charter ss. 4(1)(b), (c) and 38(1). See Transport Integration Act 2010, s. 141B. 7 Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee Minister’s response Thank you for your letter dated 11 June 2015. The Committee sought clarification of the obligations of the Port of Melbourne operator under the Victorian Charter of Human Rights (the Charter) when exercising powers under clauses 119, 124, 125, 127 and 131 of the Bill. Clause 80 of the Bill provides that the Minister for Ports may declare that a specified person is the Port of Melbourne operator. Initially, it is intended that the Minister will declare a state owned company to be the Port of Melbourne operator under clause 80 and the Charter will apply to the company. Once declared that state owned company will be able to exercise the powers under clauses 119, 124, 125, 127 and 131 of the Bill. The Bill’s Statement of Compatibility outlined that of these powers only clause 131 engages (but does not limit) various Charter rights. As part of the proposed lease of the Port of Melbourne the shares in the state owned Port of Melbourne operator will be sold to a private entity. After the sale of these shares the Port of Melbourne operator will be wholly owned by a private entity. It is likely that the sale of shares will occur early in 2016. The private Port of Melbourne operator will not be controlled or act on behalf of the State and will not represent the State in running the commercial operations of the Port of Melbourne. The private Port of Melbourne operator will not be performing public functions so the Charter will not apply to it. I trust this clarifies the application of Charter to the Port of Melbourne operator. TIM PALLAS MP Treasurer 22 June 2015 The Committee thanks the Treasurer for this response. 8 Alert Digest No. 7 of 2015 Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 A House Amendment to the Bill was introduced into the Legislative Council on 25 May 2015 by the Hon. Steve Herbert MLC. The Committee considered the House Amendment on 9 June 2015 and made the following comments in Alert Digest No. 6 of 2015 tabled in the Parliament on 9 June 2015. Committee comments Charter report Age discrimination – Unlicensed paintball marker use – Users aged under 16 – Firearms Act 1996 Summary: The Committee will write to the Attorney‐General seeking further information as to whether or the amendments relating to firearms made to the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 in the Legislative Council are compatible with human rights. The Committee notes that an amendment to the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 made in the Legislative Council, amending existing Schedule 3 of the Firearms Act 1996, extends the exemption from the licensing requirements in Part 2 of that Act for users of paintball markers to the non‐prohibited persons over the age of 16. The Committee observes that, while this amendment increases eligibility for unlicensed paintball marker use, it nevertheless engages the Charter’s rights with respect to age discrimination in relation to users under the age of 16.iii The Committee notes that, while Charter’s requirement for statements of compatibilityiv is limited to Bills when introduced and does not apply to amendments to Bills, the amendments to the Firearms Act 1996 made in the Legislative Council broaden the purpose clause of the Bill as introduced and may in substance be equivalent to a new Bill.v The Committee will write to the Attorney‐General seeking further information as to whether or not the firearms amendments relating to firearms made to the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 in the Legislative Council are compatible with human rights. Minister’s response I write in response to a query raised by the Scrutiny and Acts and Regulations Committee (the Committee) in Alert Digest No 6 of 2015, in relation to the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 (the Bill). The Committee has noted that while lowering the minimum age of participation to 16 increases the eligibility for unlicensed paintball marker use, it nevertheless engages the Charter’s rights with respect to age‐based discrimination relating to minors under 16. The proposal to lower the minimum age of participation in paintball activities from 18 to 16 has the effect of treating minors under 16 differently. I accept that this may constitute a limitation on section 8(3) of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (the Charter Act), which provides for equal protection of the law, without discrimination. In my view, however, the limit placed on s 8(3) is demonstrably justified under s 7(2) of the Charter Act. iii

Charter s. 8. Charter s. 28. See Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee, Alert Digest No. 8 of 2011, p. 13 (reporting on the Justice Legislation Amendment (Infringement Offences) Act 2011). 9 Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee All rights under the Charter, including section 8, are subject to reasonable limitations (section 7(2)). It is important to note that age‐based restrictions have long been recognised and upheld as reasonable and appropriate in free and democratic societies, in order to reflect the particular vulnerabilities of young people. Restricted access to tobacco or alcohol consumption and the viewing of R18+ films are clear examples of such reasonable and justifiable limitations. The restrictions in the Bill are designed to prevent potential harm and injury to persons aged under 16 years when participating in paintball games. It is reasonable and appropriate to consider that teenagers at that age are more physically and anatomically developed in order to use a paintball marker, which is designed akin to a longarm and requires considerable strength to carry during paintball activities. Furthermore, it is reasonable to consider that 16 year olds can appropriately follow instructions from paintball field operators, particularly in the proper use of paintball goggles and associated equipment that ensures their safety and wellbeing at a paintball range. I note that paintball pellets can only be fired from a permissible distance of no less than eight metres, and are propelled at some force, which could cause injuries in younger juveniles if not appropriately supervised during paintball games. There are no less restrictive options or measures available. In the context of the above restriction in the Bill, I am of the opinion that it is a reasonable and justifiable limitation on that right and I am satisfied that the restriction is compatible with the Charter Act. I appreciate you bringing this matter to my attention. THE HON MARTIN PAKULA MP Attorney‐General Received 19 June 2015 The Committee thanks the Attorney‐General for this response.
